Not totally correct. We are trying to depopulate driver/i2c/chips, and
instead have the chip drivers sorted according to the functionality
they provide. Hardware monitoring (sensors) drivers go to
drivers/hwmon, Real-time clock (rtc) drivers go to drivers/rtc, video
chip drivers go under drivers/media, etc. Only drivers which do not fit
anywhere else will be kept in driver/i2c/chips (for example the eeprom
driver.)

Thanks,
